In this video, Ian Baker, the lead curator of Tibet's Secret Temple, presents the guidelines of the exhibition: the Lukhang temple, the reproductions of its fascinating 17th century wall paintings and how the exhibition was conceived to illustrate the main concepts, yogic practices and characters of Tantric Buddhist art, with the 120 outstanding objects brought in from major museums and private collections at the occasion of the exhibition.
As an introduction, this first episode features many details shown in the murals, views of the exhibition and an overview of some of the masterpieces shown in the film.
This is part 1 of the documentary about the TIBET'S SECRET TEMPLE: BODY, MIND AND MEDITATION IN TANTRIC BUDDHISM exhibition held at the Wellcome Collection in London.

We’d like to thank Ian Baker, Hon Wai Wai and Hamid Sardar for allowing us to use their photographs of these extraordinary paintings. We’d also like to thank the museums, institutions and private collectors who allowed us to present the other artworks and images you will see in this documentary.
